I know the feeling. The problem is it is now a gorilla hanging over your head instead of just a class. What I do in those situations is break it down even further. Like instead of finding an hour to do a whole chapter or class or whatever, I make one goal for the day and I make it really simple.

For example, make your goal tomorrow nothing more than opening the book (or the website or whatever). Literally. That's it. Your only goal is to simply look at the beginning of the material. That way, worst-case scenario, right before you go to bed, you find it, open it, and mission accomplished.

The next day, your goal is read the first paragraph or listen to the opening. Again, that's it. Again, that's something that worst-case scenario you can do right before bed. It takes no time but you've accomplished another goal and moved forward.

I've found that when I give myself these tiny goals then I can over achieve and feel good about it rather than adding another depressing day of failure to the list.

So, like I said, just give yourself a task you can absolutely 100% accomplish and then DO IT! In a few days you'll find yourself finishing that task and saying, "Well, I'm here, I might as well keep going".

It sucks and it's a pain in the ass to get started but if you keep breaking it down into smaller and smaller parts, eventually you'll find one easy enough to get you started.
